Late last night

I get a call from a so-called friend

He wouldn't give his name

Says he saw you with another man

Feels like seventeen years

It's only seventeen days

Since I saw the real you

And I let you walk away

You left me broken

You left me stranded

The way you play this game of love

It's just plain underhanded

I spent a lot of time

And I spent all my money

Don't want no other fool

To put his hands on you

Who you been talkin' to?

Yeah who you been walkin' with?

Seventeen, you're just seventeen

Seventeen

They said I was playin' with fire

I knew I had to take a chance

I had to take you higher

To a new experience

But little did I know

I'd never get that far

Girl, you know you put on quite a show

You're gonna be a star

When you grow older, girl

You'll remember I told you, girl

Seventeen, you're just seventeen

Seventeen, seventeen

Seventeen, you're just seventeen

Seventeen, seventeen

Seventeen, you're only seventeen

Seventeen, seventeen
